Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
This year's transfer period in the LPL is a polarized situation, with the management of the top teams trying their best to make up the team, while the bottom teams are not cared for or even moved.
This has led to a large number of disbanded teams in the LPL region, and LGD is among them.
There is a special phenomenon in the LPL transfer period this year, that is, a large number of Korean aid returned to China, including top Korean aid such as Ruler, and there are also many Korean aid that is not so strong, similar to TT's Ucal, Hoya, FPX's Korean aid has left, and a large number of Korean aid returned to China, coupled with the transfer of players, retirement, etc., resulting in the dissolution of a large number of teams.
Among them, four teams were disbanded during the transfer period for various reasons, namely UP, LGD, NIP and FPX, in the official list, the number of players in these five teams is 2 or less, the smallest number of them is the UP team, in the OBGG team list only Xiao Yueji is left alone, the top laner Qingtian, the jungler H4cker, the bottom lane Doggo and Niket are not in the lineup.
Then there is LGD, which has created water ghost miracles many times, in this year's transfer period, LGD mid-laner Haichao got a better opportunity and joined LNG, the top laner Burdol returned to China, and the auxiliary player Lao Drama Bone Jinjiao directly chose to retire, and only Guohao and Shaoye were left in the team.
LGD is expected to use some newcomers again, but I don't know if LGD will be able to continue their water ghost path this time.
In terms of the NIP team, this year's results are okay, but Rookie was recalled by IG, Zhuo left, Photic also left, and the team was left with only two players who played in the OMG team before, Pheasant and Aki, and the new season NIP seems to be competing for Leave players, and next year's configuration is likely not to be this year, because there are no good free agent players in the transfer period.
In terms of the FPX team, the team's double Korean aid left the team, and at the same time, the jungler core Milkyway also left, it should be back to RNG, this year's FPX, which created the myth of the dark horse, not only did not complete the reinforcement, but also did not even maintain the original lineup, and only the top single Tiger and the middle single Care are still in the team.
On the whole, there are so many disbanded teams in the LPL, and it is difficult to even get together five players in today's further reduction in the number of talents, and the LPL division has a salary cap system restrictions, and the annual salaries of the players in the teams are superimposed, and it is not good to be too low, and the current situation of these teams is that they don't want to invest but can't do without LPL, so they can only continue to find players to play.
LDL, which sends talents to LPL, is also a mess now, and LPL's youth training environment is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to find even decent good seedlings.
Personally, I think that with the current size of the LPL, it is already the limit to be able to gather 4-5 strong teams in this year's transfer period, and there are still many clubs willing to spend money to group configuration when the LPL fails to win any championship in the international arena this year, and a large part of the reason is because of the World Championship held in China next year.
And once the LPL can't win the championship in the World Championship held at home next year, the LPL will face a real collapse, and by that time more clubs in the LPL will withdraw from the competition, the salaries of players will fall again, and the competitive suspense of the LOL World Championship will no longer exist.
At present, many teams in the LPL have actually wanted to withdraw from the league for a long time, but because the seats in the league were also obtained with real money back then, although the seats are worthless now, it is also a pure loss to take the initiative to withdraw from the league, either find a new fund to buy the seats, or they can only be actively repurchased by the alliance like RA.
But the money that the league can come up with to buy back seats every year is also limited, unless the league is really hurt and must quickly reduce the number of places, it will not choose to repurchase a large number of places, especially now is not the time, in the LPL to form a number of strong teams plus a team with super traffic like IG, at least next year LPL is still worth looking forward to.
